Encoding Video File with my Intel I7 System

I've been doing video editing back to the VCD days and it may take a while on a slow machine but I've never had one overheat. Is your CPU overclocked?

Not Overclocked, didn't overheat per say, and very loud fans as well. But got up to around 80C briefly during my last run of handbrake, Not sure what the temp of video card was, but i'll run hardwareinfo this time and keep eye on it, last time i just monitored the CPU temps with Realtemp 3.70 program.

Machine isn't that slow per say, slower than latest 6 and 8 core systems though

Can look into if i got any extra money left and maybe do a full system upgrade sometime soon, but also not hurrying to do that yet as this point

I use Core Temp to monitor my i7 and use FFmpeg for most of my video work. 80˚C or more is typical on my machine when working hard, but as Core Temp shows a Tj Max of 100˚C it's nothing to worry about. Video processing is very cpu intensive, I don't think you'll find the video card is doing much work.

Oh ok, mainly got worried due to the very loud fan noise (guess thats normal, and the temp lol) but then again not that hard of machine user most of the time. But starting to do more things than i didn't use to, as might as well take advantage of I7 strengths, and do more advanced things off and on.

Might look into Core temp as well

What format are you encoding from and too a better encoder may help

H.265(Nvidia NVenc) HQ 1080P30surround, the dvd is another family Christmas party one from years ago, maybe too high of a quality, not sure lol, new with this stuff, as only used to use a TV DVD Recorder for years, drive died in that machine, so decided to try using PC to make digital files of these

When's the last time you blew the dust out of the fans?

Could it be the fan is dying? You have plenty of machine for video editing, I use a 3 core AMD with no problems.

When I installed my newer Storage Drive into system a few days ago i also used my Electric duster to clean every single fan i could get to. Might have to attempt removing video card to clean its fan though sometime

Though i did try second file encoding on I7 Laptop this morning that is running Avast Free Antivirus, and fans stayed in normal settings, starts to wonder if i got Defender too high on settings

Used Configuredefenderx64 when i switched to Defender on the Desktop, and set the followings settings

PUA Protection-Enabled
Cloud Time Limit at 50s
Cloud Protection Level High
ASR settings: Block Executable Content from email client and webmail--Enabled
Impede JavaScript and VBSScript to launch executables: Enabled

((Laptops running latest version of Avast Free 19.3.2369) Temps with Coretemp showed for CPU max 76C)) with same encoding settings as a Desktop

Hmmms more to check out later
